Connectivity
| LTE-M / NB-IoT | Nordic nRF9160 Modem operates on all major global LTE-M and NB-IoT bands (supports roaming across networks – roaming SIM required). Supported LTE bands: LTE-M (Cat-M1): B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B8, B12, B13, B14, B18, B19, B20, B25, B26, B28, B66 NB-IoT (Cat-NB1/NB2): B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B8, B12, B13, B17, B19, B20, B25, B26, B28, B66 |
| Bluetooth® Gateway | Bluetooth 5.2 gateway reports nearby Bluetooth tags and sensors |
| SIM Size and Access | Internal Micro 3FF SIM |
Location
| GNSS Module | u-blox MIA-M10Q |
| Constellations | Concurrent GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS |
| Tracking Sensitivity | -167 dBm industry-leading tracking performance. |
| *Location Accuracy | 1.5m CEP |
| GNSS Assistance | GNSS almanac and ephemeris data for greater sensitivity and position accuracy |
| Low Noise Amplifier | GPS signals are filtered and boosted by a SAW filter and low-noise amplifier (LNA) allowing operation where other units fail. |
| Cell Tower Location | Cell tower location fallback for positioning when GPS can’t get a fix. |
| * Positioning accuracy specifications are provided by the GNSS module supplier and reflect ideal conditions. Device configuration, installation, environmental conditions, augmentation services, and many other factors may lead to variations in positioning accuracy. |
Power
| Input Voltage | 8-33V DC (max) |
| High-Performance Automotive Power Supply | Stringent power “load dump” tests are conducted to ensure operation in the harshest automotive electrical systems. Built-in self-resetting fuse makes installation simple and safe. |
| Intelligent Power Management | Device enters sleep mode when vehicle is inactive to prevent battery drain. |
| Operating Current | ~70mA – Average (max) |
| Sleep Current | <1mA (no peripherals supplied and battery fully charged). |
| Backup Battery | 3.7V 300mAh LiPo internal backup battery pack. |
Mechanics / Design
